Standing at the top of the Meggor Tower, Samwell could see the entire city of King's Landing.

After an overnight cleanup, the ghouls have completely disappeared from the city.

In the faint light of the morning light, the narrow, winding alleys and wide streets were littered with soldiers in a hurry.

They are cleaning up the battlefield and maintaining order.

Wisps of blackened smoke rose from all over the city, and it was the Silent Sisters burning their bodies.

The battle resulted in heavy casualties for both the Southern and Northern armies, as well as the civilians of King's Landing, with a rough estimate of nearly 70,000 killed in the catastrophe.

As for the injured, there are countless people.

Sorrow hangs over King's Landing like a haze, but just as the rising sun has risen, all gloom will eventually be dispelled.

From time to time, King's Landing poked their heads out of the cracks in the windows and doors, curiously surveying the seemingly earth-shaking city and the strange soldiers with Southern accents.

And, of course, the white dragon that perched atop the high hills of Aegon.

After the catastrophe of the ghouls, everyone is looking forward to a strong man to protect King's Landing.

And Caesar, who has a dragon, has obviously become the first choice in people's hearts.

If people were still suspicious of the existence of strange ghosts, they thought it was just an old legend.

But when unkillable ghouls descend on King's Landing in the storm, the fear of the wraiths grows like mushrooms after the rain.

There is also the coming winter, and the prophesied endless nights......

As a result, King's Landing began to place their hopes on Caesar, hoping that he would ascend to the Iron Throne and that he would be able to lead humanity to victory over the monsters of the Long Night, just like the prophesied Children of the Flame.

Although Samwell has long since stopped advertising himself as a child of the Holy Flame, many times, the image of the king is distorted by people's needs and imaginations.

Not only commoners, but also most of the nobles had a similar mentality.

So when Samwell entered the Red Keep, the nobles in the throne room were ready to surrender on their knees.

But strangely, they waited all night, and they could not wait for the new king.

Yes, Samwell didn't go to the throne room, nor did he rush to climb the Iron Throne, which was coveted by the Seven Kingdoms careerists, including himself.

Instead, he stood at the top of the tower and watched King's Landing at night.

By this time, dawn had arrived, and the guards on the side looked at the Storm King bathed in the morning light, and suddenly felt as if he was a god who lived on the top of the holy mountain.

Great and lonely.

"Your Majesty, do you want breakfast?"

Samwell came to his senses and nodded.

The attendant hurriedly beckoned the servant to serve a sumptuous breakfast, duck eggs, sausages, oatmeal, and milk with honey.

"Your Majesty, would you like some wine?"

Samwell shook his head, finished his breakfast quietly, and wiped his mouth.

Then he got up and went down the stairs.

The guards breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, thinking that His Majesty the Storm King was finally going to meet the nobles who had been waiting impatiently, but unexpectedly, Samwell did not go to the throne room, but left the Maegor Building and wandered around the Red Keep.

Everyone couldn't figure out what the Storm King was thinking, but they didn't dare to persuade him.

It wasn't until the two queens, Margaery Tyrell and Daenerys Targaryen, entered the monarchy with their follow-up troops, that Samwell was strolling to the Tower of the White Sword.

"What is Your Majesty doing in the White Sword Tower?" Margaery wondered.

"Maybe it's time to see the White Knights." Daenerys looked eager to try it and seemed to want to check it out.

Margaery was skeptical: "Really? But Sam himself killed three white knights and sent one to guard the Wall. ”

"We'll find out if we go and see."

"Go ahead, I'll go see my father."

"Okay." Daenerys said goodbye to Margaery and was escorted by Ser Barristan Selmy to the Tower of the White Sword.

When she saw the slender building in the southeast corner of the Red Keep, Daenerys suddenly turned back to the old knight beside her and said:

"Sir Barristan, if you don't object, I'll get Sam to take you back to the Kingsguard."

Sir Barristan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head:

"Thank you for your kindness, but since I've left the Kingsguard, I have no intention of going back. If I could, I'd rather be your bodyguard. ”

"It's up to you."

When Daenerys walked into the White Sword Tower, the first thing she saw was a white room, with white wool brocade hanging on the whitewashed stone wall, a white shield and two crossed white swords above the fireplace, and a white round table with a large white book on the table in the center of the room.

The round table is made of ancient fishbeam wood, gray as bone, carved in the shape of three war horses supporting a giant shield.

According to tradition, the captain of the Kingsguard sat behind a shield, while the other six white knights sat on either side of the three horses.

At this time, Samwell was sitting in the position of the captain of the Iron Guard, looking through the large white book on the table.

The book is thick, a thousand pages long, and is bound in fine white cowhide with gold hinges and silk threads.

Its official name is the Book of the White Knights, and it is also commonly known as the White Dictionary.

The White Book records the great achievements of every White Knight who joined the Imperial Guard.

Being able to leave a name and history on it is a lifelong dream of all the knights of the Seven Kingdoms.

"Sam, what are you doing here?" Daenerys's belly is already big, but it still can't change the way she always looks.

Samwell got up with a smile, hugged his wife, and imprinted a kiss on her forehead:

"Just take a look."

Daenerys looked at the "White Dictionary" on the table, thinking that she understood what her husband was thinking:

"Are you planning to re-assemble the Kingsguard? That's right, the seven people left behind by the Lannisters definitely can't be used. ”

"Your Majesty," Sir Barristan couldn't help but remind, "the White Knights are a lifelong position, and even when Robert Baratheon ascended the Iron Throne, he didn't remove our White Knights who were originally loyal to House Targaryen. ”

Daenerys hesitated.

Samwell Says:

"It's really inappropriate to revoke the status of a white knight for no reason. However, they can give up on their own. Just like when you took off your white robe in the city of heaven and earth. ”

Sir Barristan was speechless.

Although he understands what the so-called "voluntary abandonment" means, after all, this precedent was set by himself, and he can't slap himself.

After a moment of hesitation, the old knight sighed, and there was a hint of supplication in his tone:

"Your Majesty, I am not trying to interfere with your decision. I just hope you will respect the traditions of the Kingsguard and not let the glorious title of White Knight be tarnished. ”

Samwell smiled and asked rhetorically:

"Do you think the seven White Knights chosen by the Lannisters have tarnished the glory of the Kingsguard?"

Sir Barristan opened his mouth and said:

"I have no right to judge the White Knight."

"I'll tell you, then." Samwell said, "Mandon Moore is greedy for life and afraid of death, Belos Braun is very inward-looking, and often goes to the Silk Street to do tricks, and Osmond Kate Black is even more powerful, he dares to have an affair with Cersei, Sandor Clegane is not even a knight, and as for the so-called captain of the Kingsguard, Jaime Lannister, is still keeping vigil at the Wall of Desperation."

Sir Barristan, do you think I have tarnished the glory of the White Knight? Or are they? ”
